Holiday Happenings in University Village

In the spirit of the season, our U Village restaurant is right in the center of some fun holiday happenings! Don’t miss out on your next visit to Elemental Pizza in University Village…

Santa’s cabin is open each and every day from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. (6 p.m on Christmas Eve) for pictures and a Santa meet-and-greet with kids AND pets (Santa takes his lunch from 2 - 3 p.m.). The cabin is just around the corner at Fran’s Chocolates - click here for photo pricing.

It’s the season for giving, and the U Village’s Winter Wishes program is running through December 24th. The Winter Wish tags are hanging on the trees by Headlines Salon - grab a tag, buy the gift, and drop it off unwrapped in the gift box by the salon (preferably by Sunday, December 20th).

Have you been busy with so much gift shopping, that you’re dreading the step of wrapping everything? Put it off until Christmas Eve, and have someone else do it for FREE! Just across the parking lot from us at the RAM Restaurant & Brewery, you can get free gift wrapping on December 24th from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., courtesy of the Roosevelt Vocal Jazz Ensemble. Sip on some RAM beer specials while you wait, or hop on over here for some lunch and/or snacks. If you want your wrapping done before Christmas Eve, some U Village stores are offering this service free with purchase.

In this season of spending on gifts and goodies, a little kick-back would be nice, wouldn’t it? The folks behind the scenes at University Village have hidden a Golden Ticket in one of the parking spots in the north garage (behind Crate and Barrel)! You could win a $500 U Village gift card - just find the ticket, take a picture with your smartphone, and post it on Instagram with #shopuvillage.

We’d love to have you join us for lunch or dinner over this holiday season! Wishing you joy and lots of fun for the holidays.
